In honor of its 25th anniversary, New Mexico MainStreet revamped its awards categories to recognize the cumulative suc- cesses and achievements of local MainStreet organizations in each of Main Street’s Four Points: Organization, Design, Promotion, and Economic Positioning. Additionally, the state program created the Silver Star Award, designed to celebrate one local MainStreet organization’s overall success in downtown revitalization and com- prehensive accomplishments in each of the Main Street Four Points. All local New Mexico MainStreet organi- zations in good standing were eligible for the awards, regardless of the age of their organization. Following a competitive nomination and selection process, five 25th Anniversary Awards were presented at the New Mexico MainStreet 25th Anniversary Celebration on August 14, 2010. The presentation included the following awards. Award for Overall Excellence in Design – Designed to recognize a local MainStreet organization that has conducted a comprehensive set of activities that resulted in the improved appearance, functionality, investment in, and preservation of the MainStreet district. The award also included a $500 cash prize for the 2 recipient to use to further preserve the MainStreet district and/or improve its appearance and physical function. Award for Overall Excellence in Organization – Designed to recognize a local MainStreet organization that has conducted a comprehensive program of activities that cumulatively developed, sustained, and enhanced the functionality of the MainStreet organization, its resources, and its capacity to revitalize the MainStreet district. The award also included a $500 cash prize for the recipient to use to further enhance the local MainStreet organization and its operations. Award for Overall Excellence in Promotion – Designed to recognize a local MainStreet organization that has conducted a comprehensive program of promotional activities which cumulatively increased the popularity, use, customer base and positive image of the MainStreet district. The award also included a $500 cash prize for the recipient to use to further promote and market the local MainStreet district. Award for Overall Excellence in Economic Positioning – Designed to recognize a local MainStreet organization that has conducted a comprehensive series of activities that over time improved MainStreet’s overall economy and attracted business investment to the MainStreet district. The award also included a $500 cash prize for the recipient to use to further strengthen the economy of the local MainStreet district. The Silver Star Award – The most prestigious of all NMMS 25th Anniversary Awards, the Silver Star Award is designed to recognize one exceptional MainStreet organization whose cumulative successes across the Four Points and maintenance of a vibrant MainStreet organization serve as a model of comprehensive MainStreet revitalization. The Silver Star Award also included a $1,500 cash prize for the recipient to reinvest in any aspect of its MainStreet revitalization efforts. New Mexico MainStreet 25th Anniversary Awards New Mexico MainStreet 25th Anniversary Awards Recipients Award for Overall Excellence in Design Artesia MainStreet, Inc. ne wouldn’t necessarily expect a community whose founding was based on its waters and which later Oboomed on oil to feature an attractive and inviting downtown that celebrates its history and heritage through monumental artwork and other aesthetic enhancements. However, downtown Artesia does just that – owing in large part to Artesia MainStreet’s work in Design. Since Artesia MainStreet’s start in 1997, downtown design improvements have been a key component of the organization’s work, and the results of MainStreet’s Design activities are gloriously visible in downtown Artesia. Artesia MainStreet’s primary goal has always been to improve downtown’s appearance and quality of life, and its Design projects certainly have met that goal. Photos of downtown Artesia taken in the late 1990s show a generally unremarkable downtown. The same cannot be said for downtown Artesia today. Birds eye

Washington, D.C. 20463 Re: MUR5761 Madrid for Congress Dear Mr. Norton: This response to the above-referenced complaint is filed on behalf of Patricia ‘ Madrid, Madrid for Congress and Rita Longino as treasurer (collectively “Madrid for Congress”), and Justice for America, L. Michael Messina as president (collectively “Justice for America”). The complaint was filed by Attorney General Madrid’s opponent in the general election race for Congress in the first district in New Mexico purely for publicity and political gain. It is based solely on speculation and innuendo and should be dismissed immediately by the Federal Election Commission (“Commission” or “FEC”) for the reasons set forth more fwlly below. While the complaint is somewhat unclear, it appears to be arguing that expenditures made by the non-federal New Mexico political committee, Justice for America (“JFA”) in the year prior to Attorney General Madrid’s federal candidacy were somehow related to her federal campaign. Other than pure speculation, the complaint does not provide any support for such an allegation. The other allegation seems to be that the existence of the dormant New Mexico committee somehow results in a violation of the soft money ban applicable to federal candidates, even though the disclosure reports filed by JFA, which are on the public record and attached to the complaint, clearly show that JFA ceased activity prior to the Attorney General’s federal candidacy.
